A 1901 orchard barn we rescued in Linden, VA

Rescuing Our Past By the sweat of their brows, our forefathers created colossal storehouses to run the family farm. Standing as a monument to our ancestors' ingenuity and determination, these barns have faithfully weathered storms, hard use, and neglect for decades while continuing to serve their intended purpose.

Now all too often the vintage barn, once a sure sign of hope and wealth to a prospering farmer, is deemed fit only for the burn pile.

At the Strong Oaks Woodshop, we take seriously our calling to reclaim and repurpose these living structures.

Formed from native woods of what are now extinct virgin forests, each barn beam and board tells the unique story of its past. What may often seem a worthless plank, gray with age, can be transformed, if given the chance, into a majestic piece of furniture, rich with character and history.

Our customers relish how the dramatic grain of the old wood captivates the imagination and unites us with the past. Our work strives to honor nature's timelessness by creating heirloom reclaimed furniture that will be treasured for generations to come.

Mass production may be fine for things like windshield wipers and potato chips, but our homes and the things we furnish them with should say a little more about who we are. If you are one of those souls that believes the past has a unique beauty worth preserving, contact the Strong Oaks Woodshop -- we'll help you reclaim your roots too.
